It’s just the most fun I’ve had in a while!
Sam Spade is unequalled!

Charming Wilmer. The boy has such style.

“The boy drew his right foot far back and kicked Spade’s temple. The kick rolled Spade over on his side. Once more he tried to get up, could not, and went to sleep.”

Excerpt From
The Maltese Falcon, Chapter 12
Dashiell Hammett

Effie to the Brigid’s rescue?😂

And here’s where that famous Spade line comes in:

“How do I know?” Spade responded. “I was out in the kitchen mixing an omelette when it all happened, wasn’t I?”

If you don’t recognize it? You are noir-deprived!

Iva…Brigid…Effie.
Sam does get around😏

Just the ticket after reading tomes and epics😊

Coming up on the 85th anniversary of the classic noir film release for a The Maltese Falcon. Felt it necessary to reread the great Hammett novel in honorarium. Hard-boiled, intricate, and historical! Look for the movie’s re-release in theaters late this year. I’ll be there! Don’t miss out!
